SAN JOSE — Residents are being given another opportunity to turn in unwanted firearms for cash on an anonymous, no-questions-asked basis at a Santa Clara County gun buyback on Saturday.

The event is the second one to be held by the county, and the first one saw 1,116 firearms — including 47 assault weapons — turned over for destruction on March 2.

That event paid out $114,000, making it one of the largest buyback events in the Bay Area. Up to $50,000 will be paid out on Saturday, with up to $100 offered for each handgun, shotgun or rifle and up to $200 for assault weapons. Residents wishing to turn in a weapon need to bring it, unloaded, carried in a trunk of a car or bed of a truck.

The event will run from 8 a.m. to noon at Reid-Hillview Airport, 2500 Cunningham Ave., in East San Jose. It will be followed by a peace walk and resource fair with free food and entertainment at Most Holy Trinity Church, 2040 Nassau Drive, San Jose.

The program is a partnership between Sheriff Laurie Smith, District Attorney Jeff Rosen and Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese. The event is part of the Unity Day celebration at Most Holy Trinity Church.
